Period 4:  Planning

Period 5:  Freshman English in Room 219

Period 6:  Freshman English in Room 219

Grading:

Formative Grades:  80% of total grade (introduction of new skills, practice, homework, quizzes)

Summative Grades:  20% of total grade (application of newly acquired skills at end of units)

Late work Policy (REVISED AS OF 11/3/09):

As a transition into high school, late work during Quarter 1 was possible (please check below for old policy).  Now, as Quarter 2 is in full swing, the late work policy has changed.  Class work is expected to be turned in at the end of each hour.  Homework assignments with due dates will not be accepted after a grace period of 4 school days (5% grade deduction for every day late).   For excused absences, please refer to the Student Planner (p. 26 - Makeup Work). 

Quarter 1 policy:  All work will have 5 percent deducted per late day.  So, if a student turns in a homework assignment two days late, that's a 10 percent deduction (all grades are based on 100 percent) and the highest grade that could be earned would be a 89 (or a B).

If you have questions or need help, please feel free to come and see me in the English Office on the3rd floor before or after school as well as during lunch.  I am looking forward to seeing you there.
